Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or jalapeños to the filling.
- You can substitute with cashew cheese or add chopped mushrooms or bell peppers for variety.
- Frozen spinach can be used—just thaw and squeeze out excess liquid first.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat at 350°F for 10 minutes.
- For extra flakiness, handle the pastry as little as possible.
